The Israeli army claimed on Friday that it had killed the head of Hamas' military intelligence in southern Gaza on Thursday. In a statement, the army named the Hamas leader as Osama Tabash. It said he was also the head of the terrorist group's surveillance and targeting unit. There was no immediate comment from Hamas on this.
Israel Defense Forces gave information
According to ANI, the Israel Defense Forces said that three people from Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad have been killed. Rashid Jahjouh, the head of Hamas's General Security Apparatus, was killed along with Ayman Atsila, the head of Hamas's General Security Apparatus, in the Khan Younis area. According to the IDF, Jahjouh played an important role in spreading propaganda to legitimize Hamas' rule in Gaza.
Israel's internal security chief's dismissal put on hold
Israel's top court on Friday stayed the decision to sack the country's internal security chief Ronen Bar. The court said that the sacking will remain stayed until his petition is heard. A few hours before this decision of the Supreme Court, the cabinet approved Netanyahu's decision to sack Ronen, the head of the internal security service agency 'Shin Bet'.
Israeli Attorney General said this
The top court said it was putting a temporary stay on the dismissal as an appeal could be heard before April 8. While the Israeli Attorney General said the cabinet had no legal basis to dismiss Ronen Bar.
Earlier, Netanyahu's office said that Ronen's dismissal would be effective from April 10. Netanyahu had said last week that he had lost confidence in 'Shin Bet' chief Ronen and was considering sacking him.
The 'Shin Bet' report acknowledged the failure of the security agency in connection with the attack on Israel by Hamas on October 7, 2023. However, the report also said that the policies of the Netanyahu government created such circumstances, which led to this attack.
